There are alot of Yankee things that probably don't belong here, but you guys are just jumping at every thread that even mentions something to do with them.

Right on time.

Hey bigh0rt, how about you contribute something to the conversation rather than make your cute little wiseass remarks. If Giambi was a KC Royal, you'd probably type and essay on what you'd expect from him the rest of the year. Because it's a Yankee and a Yankee fan started the thread, you immeadately jump to the conclusion that this is a thread discussing the Yankees.

I don't need whining about Yankee threads, I need advice from other seasoned FBB managers because I'm hung up on whether to drop someone for Tino or not.

Thanks BB, I thought it was in the right place... so now then, I digress... Jason Giambi? Can he be waking up? Second half stud? I mean I figure if he was juiced, then injured (Probably as result of juicing, he had that tell tale knee injury among other things.), it would take about this long for him to get himself back into game shape, find his stroke and get comfortable again. Plus, the media has kind of laid off him since the Yanks as a whole have been pretty damn awful. If it was anyone else, he'd be getting snatched up in every league fast... but then... two years of nothing... and most of this year with nothing. I'm weary at best... I could drop the following for him:

-DJ Carassco
-Jimmy Rollins (I... doubt I'll do this, but he is on the short list of dropables with Jeter at SS for me.)
-Aaron Hill
-Bronson Arroyo (I hear he's staying in the rotation? Probably same as Rollins, won't drop but he's on the short list.)
-Troy Percival
-Kenny Rogers

I have Hafner at 1st, but a three way platoon at DH with Wily Mo, Rollins and Hill. I like having Hill just in case ARam goes down, which he's somewhat prone to do... but if Jason is finding even half of his old self, he'll be worth something for sure.

Giambi hit another homerun today and is going 3-4 so far in the seventh. I often wonder what would happen if the Yankees batted him second. The man has been an on base monster even when he's not hitting and, while he has no speed, he can create chaos for pitchers about to face Sheffield and Arod. His talents seem to be wasted when he's buried in sixth, seven, and sometimes even eigth in the order. Alot of 0-2 with two walks and no production type of nights.

hmm ... seems I have heard this story before ..

What the hell does it matter? This is an ONLINE FANTASY BASEBALL FORUM. Can you get real and not be stuck up about it and at least TRY and answer my questions? Christ.

I never really thought of Giambi has a potential #2 hitter. I can see the chaos he would create as well as being an on base guy he can sure frustrate a pitcher with a long at bat. However, I doubt Joe would use him there because he is slow as molasses and a double play waiting to happen. I wouldn't mind seeing them experiment though.

It's not that it's a Yankee thread, but it looks as if he disguised an add/drop question. (I've got my eye on you now - disguising topics in order to hide in the Leftovers forum is a big no-no and something that we're looking out for these days).
